My friend and garden Guru, Bonnie, and I embarked upon another "crafty" bit of garden art over the 4th of July weekend. First we hit a few yard sales and then a couple of flea markets to gather bits of glassware. We found vases, bowls, goblets ashtrays and globes for discarded light fixtures. This is only one of 6 that we constructed. The base is a piece of re-bar hammered into the ground 1 ft. for every 2 ft. of glassware. Then the lower most piece is a cheap or free vase of the type that a single rose might come in which will slip over the re bar. Using a caulking gun and GE Silicone II for windows and doors, which is a clear sealant and adhesive, we started by adhering two pieces at a time and letting the final structure dry overnight. It really is quite strong and drys in a few hours time. I will post a couple more later, but did E-mail these to some of my followers so sorry about the repeat.
Still working on more small quilt squares for Sylvia's Bridal quilt sampler and will post those as I progress slowly through them. We have relatives coming for a short visit and are excited to see how the little ones have grown.
